Shamrock was the man before MMA took over UFC fighting. He just got old an could never hang with this generation. It really is getting to be bad

McMahon was right! Shamrock is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Yeah, UFC did evolve and leave him behind. It seems he is content to just get his ass kicked for money now.

I really believe Shamrock has been on some under the table payroll because his recent fights he practically fought with no heart and looked like he wasn't even trying to win. Then he never faced Kimbo Slice which was weird too

I think the last time I saw Shamrock in a match was when Tito Ortiz beat him a couple of years back and after the fight all he talked about was how they actually like each other and they had both made a lot of money out of the fight. Like I said before, I don't think he cares or believes he can beat most of the UFC guys now, but he'll happily take a pounding for a few more George Washington's in his pocket.

I think Shammy is just a household name that a lot of people new from the old days. He was extra ratings but not PPV dollars once he was exposed.

It's just a completely different era now. Half of those guys that were on all of the UFC reality series could probably destroy Shamrock

UFC would get my dollars if Dana White had a match. Against any jobber, I wouldn't care. Or, my dream match would be Dana White and BJ Penn Vs a large, hungry Grizzly bear in a handicap match. With a hungry lion as special guest referee.

With a hungry lion as special guest referee. Dana almost had a fight on a PPV man. Him vs Tito Ortiz in a boxing match but the Nevada State Commision wouldn't sanction it. Spike TV had a hour long special about it.

Why wouldn't they sanction it?
Are you guys watching the boxing this weekend? Ricky Hatton (The guy Floyd Mayweather beat in his last match) is fighting a guy called Paulie Maligniaggi. I might watch it.

At first because Dana was out of shape so Dana got in shape and then they just said they wouldn't and if he tried again they wouldn't sanction anymore UFC fights.

Dana and Tito were known not to see eye to eye. But Dana being the chairman and not a sanctioned fighter, they wouldn't allow it. I would have loved to have seen that though. Tito probably would have killed him but I still would like to see what Dana White's capable of

Actually Dana used to be a boxer. Its just that promoting job for the UFC pays the bills better.

No shit I didn't know that. How was his record? Was he any good?

I don't have a clue what his record was. He used to fight in the Boston area thats all I know about his boxing carrier. Then he met Tito and Chuck Lidell and started managing them and that led to him being a part owner of the UFC.
When he was training to fight Tito he looked a little rusty since he hadn't been in the ring for years. He got his way though and now Tito is unemployed.
